I am glad that you included the preview function; perhaps you can add more information on how to collect and use the feedback, the immediate reaction to the submission and whether they can resubmit the form.

Incredible! On 2.02 I recommended your channel to the audience of my webinar on Google Forms usage, and - voila! - 2 days later you upload a new Google Forms video! As if YOU KNEW IT! Is reading thoughts your hidden superpower?! ;)

Perfect. Just what I needed. I use this in another platform, but needed the same solution in Google Forms for another group I am helping.

[techgenez]

You are a very good teacher. Thank you

[kamisamanusantara]

Thanks for the video, Could you provide more complicated branching or branch that nested inside a branch, and how we pick required questions in those nested branches ? If you could do that, it would be great

[thrivelob]

Awesome, thank you. This was so helpful.

[lafamillecarrington]

Perfect - I knew it was possible, but couldn't remember how!

The weakness with this Branching logic is that if you want one answer (e.g. No) to take you to a later Section, but the other answer (e.g. Yes) to allow you to continue to the next questions in the current Section, and those other questions have a Required setting, then your Branching logic for the No answer will no longer work. Even though you answer No, it insists that you answer the remaining Required questions in that current Section, even though they are only relevant to a Yes answer.

Is there a way that I can add a video response based on an answer?

For example:

Is the sky blue?

Yes - clicking this answer will direct them to a new page with a video of me speaking (auto play)

No- clicking this answer will redirect to another video of me speaking on auto play.


Is this possible?

[siddhantsen]

What if we want that once anyone has selected one of the options from the first slide say SALES, no one else can select sales after that.

[gaetanomarrone]

Thanks for video, but my question is how I can print a PDF without the blank answer? now I have forms long with just 3/4 answers, and I would just the answered for the PDF

[yanalshoumenn]

amazing, thanks for the video. can i do the section based on low rating? if 3 or less fill a question otherwise, jump to next question

[allison]

need to have a W9 filled in. Is that possible for google forms? or some other free version to have it done for a few sales people

[SleepyTwixx]

Let's say I want to make the same form but in different languages, but I don't want 5 links to spread.
So let's say if they chose Eng form, they get in eng, or spanish/Japanese and they get it in Spanish/Japanese. For this, I have to do a section per language, or is there an easier way?
